Thoughts & Feelings

* No lunchtime walk today as I had a dentist appointment and didn't get back until 2.30 (tooth hurty, two thir... oh forget it). A shame as it has been a pleasant day and having mainly recovered my cold induced sick fest of the day before, it would have been a nice walk.

* No big deal for one day but it does again raise the spectre of how to exercise over the colder winter months, or indeed just brutally wet weather. I have already decided to bring the Wii back into play, perhaps on a Sunday morning when the family is out. This enables me to utilise the jog program in Wii Fit. Whilst I am fully aware that it is just jogging on the spot, for which I don't need a computer, it provides some visual stimulus and routine.

* Other than that, there is an option to utilise the exercise bike where it will not endanger little hands and I will review this over the next couple of weeks.

* The most encouraging aspect of this is my desire to do something. Far from seeking to (pardon the pun) run away from exercise, I am actively seeking out alternatives for when my current regime becomes impractical. This plan has embedded itself in my mind and become a normal part of life. Even 3 months ago I would not have predicted that was likely.

* I gave in to a craving this evening and had a couple of biscuits. It is important to draw a balance. Yes, I will usually want to resist and turn down the calories. But sometimes it is right to give in so as not to build up a resentment. Too often and it becomes an indulgence, the key, as ever, is balance.
